September 2014

It’s that amazing time of year, where the mornings and evenings are slightly cooler, yet summer still exists! Perfect riding weather!

September always seems to break up the routine for cyclists. Many who have ridden road bikes are now turning to the trail, and vice versa. Whether you are racing or touring, it is a time to start taking the path less traveled, bringing out the bikes with knobby tires and hammering gravel roads and trails. For many, it is time to start thinking about the next season…. possibly shopping around for the next upgrade. And what a time to do so! Most brands already have full stock for 2015!

And then there are those looking ahead….but not as far. They’re thinking winter. Snow. SNOW BIKES?! Ever since Felt introduced the Double Double series Fat Bike, our phone has been ringing off the hook! We will have an awesome assortment of Fat Bikes going forward from multiple brands! Don’t be the one person in your crew who is sitting inside watching all your friends play outdoors this winter on 4 inch tires! :)
